Working peds?

Well, today will be the first day I will be working the peds floor as a CNA/PCA, and wanted to get some input before my shift starts. I usually work med surg, but I am going to be working in all the units of the hospital over the next few month for a week or two at a time as a project to cross train some of the nurses and PCAs. I am a little nervous, I have only been in peds once, and I just filled in as the unit clerk. It was pretty different. I was told that it is not too much different, but I am still nervous. I like kids, but it has to be different caring for them than adults. Any tips?
